Sync New Linear Issues to Bugherd Tasks
Stop manually re-creating issues in Bugherd. When you create a Linear issue, we automatically create a matching task in Bugherd.
Trigger
Public Team Issue Created
Fires when a new issue is created in a Linear *public* team. For private teams (lock icon in Linear's sidebar) use `LINEAR_PRIVATE_TEAM_ISSUE_CREATED`.
Action
Create Task
Tool to add a new task in a project. use when you have the project id and full task details ready.
Why this helps
You create issues in Linear but forget to log them in Bugherd, leading to duplicate work and dropped tracking.
- Eliminates duplicate data entry
- Keeps bug tracking synchronized
- Reduces context-switching
- Ensures no tasks are forgotten
- Saves 5 minutes per issue
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect your Linear and Bugherd accounts to Notis via the portal (one-time setup).
- 2In Notis, create a new automation and write: 'When a new issue is created in Linear, create a matching task in Bugherd with the same title and description.'
- 3Select 'Public Team Issue Created' as your trigger.
- 4Choose a Slack channel or email where Notis will report when tasks are created.
- 5Test by creating a sample issue in Linear and verify it appears in Bugherd.
Questions about this workflow
Will this sync existing Linear issues?
No, it only creates tasks for new issues created after the automation is active. To sync existing issues, ask Notis to bulk-create them.
What if I don't fill in a description in Linear?
Notis will create the task with just the title; the description field in Bugherd will be empty.
Can I change which Bugherd project receives the tasks?
Yes, tell Notis your preference when creating the automation, e.g., 'send them to the Product Backlog project.'
